Huonekalu – ja Rakennustyötehdas. After the founding of Artek in 1935, the stool was added to the standard product line at Artek . In the 1940s, the simple three-legged stool became a huge bestseller. The famous design was created for the library in Viipuri and spread around the world.\r\nThe minimalist and functional design was revolutionary at the time. Instead of the usual steel, architect and designer Alvar Aalto used birch wood, which is abundant in Finland. For this reason, the extraordinary stool was also affordable for lower-income families. And to carry on the tradition, Artek still produces the “ 60 ” stool today from bent, solid birch veneer. The wood is bent using a process developed specifically by Aalto, and the legs and seat are glued together to form a single visual unit. The stool is available in various lacquered finishes (clear, black, or white). It is also available with different seat options: coated with black linoleum or white laminate, or upholstered in fabric or leather.\r\nTo mark the 80th anniversary of the “ 60 ,” Artek is presenting several special editions of the stool—featuring color-lacquered seats—as well as limited editions with various patterns designed by different artists.","brand":"Artek","offers":[{"title":"Birch, natural","offer_id":57394745213272,"sku":"114718","price":269.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Laminate, white","offer_id":57394745246040,"sku":"114719","price":299.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"yellow lacquered","offer_id":57394745278808,"sku":"120654","price":294.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"orange lacquered","offer_id":57394745311576,"sku":"120655","price":294.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"white","offer_id":57394745344344,"sku":"121322","price":315.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"black lacquered","offer_id":57394745377112,"sku":"121711","price":294.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"white lacquered","offer_id":57394745409880,"sku":"121713","price":294.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"green lacquered","offer_id":57394745442648,"sku":"121714","price":294.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Linoleum black","offer_id":57394745475416,"sku":"125753","price":299.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"black","offer_id":57394745508184,"sku":"149801","price":315.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Walnut, stained","offer_id":57394745540952,"sku":"175827","price":315.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/1760\/5208\/files\/60-Hocker-Birke.jpg?v=1780051674"},{"product_id":"artek-hocker-e60","title":"Artek - Stool E60","description":"\u003ch2\u003e E60 Stool by Alvar Aalto\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\nThe stool E60 by Artek is a timeless classic that can be easily integrated into any interior as a stool or side table.\r\nThe four-legged stool E60 was designed by Alvar Aalto and, like its three-legged counterpart (Stool 60), is an icon of furniture design. Aalto’s stackable stools were first introduced in 1933 and were revolutionary because they were not made of traditional steel but of bent, solid birch veneer—just as Artek continues to produce them today.\r\nThe familiar L-shape, which can be found in almost every Alvar Aalto design, is also evident here. At the time, the bending process used to create it was impressive: just as today, a straight piece of solid birch wood is cut along the grain to form a fan shape. Small pieces of plywood were then glued together to enable the wood to be bent by heating it, a process that ensures the wood remains stable afterward.\r\nThe timeless stool E60 by Artek is made of wood in various finishes.","brand":"Artek","offers":[{"title":"Birch, natural","offer_id":57394752684376,"sku":"114720","price":306.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"black","offer_id":57394752717144,"sku":"117745","price":358.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Walnut, stained","offer_id":57394752749912,"sku":"175825","price":358.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Birch, honey stained","offer_id":57394752782680,"sku":"175826","price":358.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/1760\/5208\/files\/Artek-E60-Hocker-Birke.jpg?v=1782225682"},{"product_id":"artek-60-hocker-by-hella-jongerius","title":"Artek - 60 stools (by Hella Jongerius)","description":"\u003ch2\u003e Stool 60 by Hella Jongerius\r\n\u003c\/h2\u003eHella Jongerius’ reinterpretation of the 60s stool presents Alvar Aalto’s classic in a new color scheme.
